Mm, mm
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Dear Diary, tonight alright, we're shaking hands
In crunch like the tears I never planned
I hear my past knock softly at my door
Whispers of the girl I was before

I try to hide her in yesterday's rain
But her shadow still knows my name
Every wrong turn carved into my skin
I wear the story of where I've been

If time could hear me, would it understand?
I was just a child without a plan

I won't let yesterday decide my name
I am not the ashes, I am the flame
Every scar is proof I survived the fall
I'm still standing, still rising through it all

Hear me now, I'm breaking free at last
I am more than the weight of my past
Oh, tomorrow, open your sky for me
I am becoming who I'm meant to be
Mm, mm

Dear Diary, the mirror tells the truth
I see both the woman and the youth
Every scar is a sentence I can read
Every silence echoes what I need

I kept running, but the past ran fast
Building walls from memories that last
Still I hold on to fragile hope inside
A quiet voice says I survived

If I forgive the girl I used to be
Maybe I can finally be free

I won't let yesterday decide my name
I am not the ashes, I am the flame
Every scar is proof I survived the fall
I'm still standing, still rising through it all

Hear me now, I'm breaking free at last
I am more than the weight of my past
Oh, tomorrow, open your sky for me
I am becoming who I'm meant to be
Mm, mm

Dear Diary, tonight I choose to fight
I'll turn my wounds into my light
The girl I was is not my end
She's just a chapter I outgrew, my friend

I feel tomorrow calling out my name
Not with guilt, not with shame
But with open skies and softer rain
A brand-new chance to live again

I am not my past, I am becoming
Every broken piece is no limit
Hear my heart, it's finally singing
I am more than what I've been

I won't let yesterday decide my name
I am not the ashes, I am the flame
Every scar is proof I survived the fall
I'm still standing, still rising through it all

Hear me now, I'm breaking free at last
I am more than the weight of my past
Oh, tomorrow, open your sky for me
I am becoming who I'm meant to be
Mm, mm

Dear Diary, if I read this someday
Tell the girl who wrote these words
She found her way
